Hecky, I think you have been very professional with this contest. You said you were 13 right? If i were to guess, id say you were at least 20. Everyone has their opinions, and as the contest holder you have the right to state yours. Also, don't let anyones attitude sway your vote. In the end, its the logo that matters. You need to be satisfied. Do you have any comments on how I can improve my current design? Regards, - Nick
So you're going to choose Pixel's design NOT because it's AWESOME and probably worth 10 times the amount you're paying, but because Pixel has not been rude. Okay, time for me to leave. Not understanding the logic.
Nick, if you meant me, it was DEFINITELY NOT a put down on your part. Nice work you and others have done. I love looking at these!
You are contradicting yourself by saying that I am 'too picky' and that there is enough material for 15 Rock Bands. If there is that much good stuff lying around here, of course I'm going to be picky, I have to choose only one in the end, don't I! I am going through each individual logo that has potential, and seeing whether it really is worth it, by scrutinizing it, back to the sources of the images and all. At the same time, I am very grateful for the large choice I have, but this means that I have to be even more sure of the logo I pick. So if I find a logo that theres something wrong with, then all the better, I have an easier choice.
Where isn't the logic in that, I'm not going to hand over one months earnings to some schmuck who's just copy pasted some images off the internet, implied that he drew them, didn't tell me, then complains when I bring the subject up. I'm not going to hand over that money to someone unless I think they deserve it. Being rude isn't exactly going to increase your chances of winning now, is it? Next time, don't.
Hecky, it seems you just had different expectations of what would happen, than what actually did happen. I, like everyone else here, appreciates that $30 is a lot of money to you as it was when I was your age and we see your point here. What we all fail to understand is, your changed concept all of a sudden. Everyone knows my logo was one of your favourites, as you expressed yourself, yet once you disocvered the guitar was from a font file, this suddenly changed. The point I've been meaning to make, with no intention of being rude, is that this is business and $30 is not a lot in this business, however much it is to you. It's not relative to earnings of the buyer. As such, using font files, brushes and limited design techniques is all you can expect for the prize announced. For example, if you gave a top design artist $30, he'd likely come up with something that took him the same amount of time. Only adding specialised skills and techniques if more money was involved. The difference between me and a top design artist will be that he has thousands more brushes, fonts and programs than I, as well as several more years knowledge of design and design implementation. So, I hope this clears it up for you. I don't think anyone here, including myself, is trying to be rude. Just trying to make a point and win a competition. Good luck.
I need a logo too see my other thread. Rock on Drainbramage I play Yngwie Mamlsteen Jason Becker type stuff on my guitar.I am not in band though not really interested and getting on a bit now however the drain sorry brain is still young.

Ok, I havent decided for sure, but unless theres a really good logo comes in im going with pixels design. The band likes it better anyway -.-
Well, im glad to hear that this issue has been delt with. Well done. Im also glad that the band liked my logo. Did they make any suggestions on how it could br improved? Or do you or anyone else have any suggestions? When do you plan on ending this contest hecky? Regards, - Nick
Probably going with you and your designs, maybe wait a few hours, till tomorrow morning before giving the final word
Im not sure I understand. How can they get any more unique. Its not like we copied them. Did you take a look at mine? Thanks for your opinion tho. - Nick
